@swetland I once patched an older version to give myself a game in which larger chests could contain smaller chests, ad infinitum, and also added a chests shop. I got a lot of items! Too many, really: I abandoned it after a while :)

@masp When I was in middle school, first learning C, I found the PC Hack 3.60 source code. I managed to get it compiling with Turbo C 2.0 and proceeded to recreate some features I liked in NetHack (which I had also played on DOS but had not located source for), like spellbooks. To this day I credit Hack for being instrumental to me understanding pointers and data structures (particularly linked lists) in C. Very educational!
